We fell in love with Island Sands a few years ago and are sure you will too. We always have a fantastic trip when we vacation at the beach and visit Destin

Couldn't Ask For More!

We had such a lovely time at this condo. Communication with the host was excellent before, during and after our stay. The place was great - couldn't ask for a better location right on the beach, clean and comfy to wind down after a long day in the sunshine. Okaloosa Island itself was fantastic as well. Just the right amount of action while still being calm and relaxed. We had a wonderful time!

Fun family memories!

The four of us (2 adults, a 16 year old, & 14 year old) had a lovely time. The rental was clean and cozy and offered a wonderfully expansive view. The kitchen was well stocked and allowed us to make most of our meals in the comfort of the condo. We loved the quiet beach and beach chair service that was included...it was so easy to get to the beach and come back up to the room whenever needed. Even my husband, who isn't much of a beach fan, had a great time and really loved our location. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Beach Getaway with Awesome Views

We stayed in this unit for a week over 4th of July weekend and it was the perfect place. The unit is located on the second floor and has a great balcony overlooking the beach. We were able to sit on our balcony and watch the fireworks. The condo is exactly as described. It was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The owner, Judith, was kind enough to text us the day after we arrived to make sure that everything was good with the condo. The chair & umbrella service was also a great touch! We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Underwhelmed

Not impressed with property. Construction underway, which I knew but only 10 days prior to stay and I had everything arranged. Bathrooms were small and furniture was uncomfortable and outdated. Pool was closed periodically due to maintenance and overall property was not inviting.

Paradise!

I was about 30 paragraphs too long. We stayed in Paradise while construction was still being completed, Judi went above and beyond to communicate and take care of us. We did get to have the magical view for the last night and you could scour the Internet searching for photos but nothing will do this little slice of Heaven any justice. The location is unmatched. We were able to do all the dining, gulfarium, parasailing, and a dolphin cruise without ever entering real traffic. Each of those things were amazing and the fact that we were able to be done and back to paradise in less than 10min made everything seem effortless and fun. The small part of the island where there isn’t commercialization was perfect. The water turns from emerald green to perfect aqua. Two chairs are provided for you when you go to the ocean which truly is just steps away. Everything was perfect and we did not get the million dollar view until the last night, construction is complete and we will be back many times again. My daughter has requested this be her “childhood vacation destination” Thank you Judi. Thank you for caring about our trip, sharing your slice of Heaven and being the best host. As you know, we had the most perfect trip. I could go on and and on and on but I’ll leave it short and sweet, You will not be disappointed in anything and you’ll be planning your next trip. The island laid back vibe and beauty is truly magic and Judi, she is the match that sparks the magic!

About the host

Hosted by Judith Kalpin

We are hopeful that you will enjoy our beach home. This condo on Okaloosa Island is a favorite place for us to relax and enjoy! When we awake in the morning we just say 'WOW' when looking out through the sliding glass doors at the Gulf of Mexico and each evening there is a wonderful sunset that is viewed from either the beach, from the living room or the balcony. Several times we have rented at this condo complex and fell in love with this small, friendly location. Now we are delighted to be owners and to share this little piece of paradise with guests.

At our northern residence we live an active life of work and outdoor recreation. We also enjoy spending time with family, friends, and church/charitable activities.

Why they chose this property

Okaloosa Island is quiet, beautiful and close to many activities. The complex is small, friendly, well-maintained, and our corner unit offers privacy. Island Sands offers the convenience of an exterior staircase so there is no waiting for elevators. The door to our unit #209 is set off from other entrances.

Inside the unit is comfortable, housekeeping is great at keeping it clean, and with the open floor plan there are great views even from the kitchen. The convenience of a full kitchen and washer/dryer make this condo easy living for a short or longer stay.

What makes this property unique

We as owners want our guests to be delighted with this vacation rental. As a Licensed Real Estate Agent with Mabarak Realty in the State of Michigan, Judith's goal is to be available to guests 24/7 for any questions, concerns, inputs or issues just as she is readily available to other clients in the real estate market.
